When the Purdue women's basketball team opens the 2012-13 season, nearly 40 percent of its roster will be comprised of Miss Basketball winners.

The latest was named Sunday when incoming freshman Taylor Manuel earned Missouri's top honor. The 6-foot-3 Manuel was selected Miss Show-Me Basketball following a solid season at Incarnate Word Academy in St. Louis.
